Lyrics

I am the God of Hell Fire and I’ll bring you

Fire
I’ll take you to burn
Fire
I’ll take to learn
I’ll see you burn

You fought hard and you saved and earned
But all the things got to burn
Out your mind your tiny mind
You know you’ve really been so blind
Now’s your time burn your mind
You fall apart went far behind

Oh no Oh no Oh no
You gonna burn

Fire
To destroy all you’ve done
Fire
To end all you’ve become

I’ll feel you burn

You’ve been living like a little girl
In the middle of your little world
Into flames you turn your mind
You know you’ve really been so blind
Now’s your time fool your mind
You ‘re falling far to far behind
Oooh

Fire
To destroy all you’ve done
Fire
To end all you’ve become

You gonna burn
You gonna burn
You gonna burn
You gonna burn
Burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn, burn
Whhaaaaa

Fire
I’ll take you to burn
Fire
I’ll take you to learn
Fire
I’ll take you to bed
Fire
To destroy all you’ve done
Fire
To end all you’ve become
Fire
I’ll take you to burn
I’ll see you burn
Destroy all you’ve [?]
Fire
Fire

This is a cover of Fire from 1968 by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown.

We also did a remake of Arthur Brown’s “Fire”, which was more psychedelic, but he had a funky streak I think.

Robert Garven, Diabolical Conquest interview 

 

We had always liked the Arthur Brown song and we wanted to do a remake.  This song was destroyed in the final mix down.  It had this really great bass line in D running all throughout the song somehow it got mixed totally out of the song. It is really a shame because this was what made the song really heavy!!

Robert Garven

 

Rob: The band never did a cover song before on an album, and Tim suggested we added one to “Paradise Lost”. We couldn’t have picked a better song, as this was a band favorite back in the day. And with so many of our songs with the word “Fire” in them, this really fits “Cirith Ungol” like a glove! We hope someday to meet Arthur Brown at one of the festivals we play.

Jim: Rob one day just told me to learn “Fire” by Author Brown, as he wanted to have that song be the one and only cover song for Cirith Ungol to do. And that it could possibly go on the Paradise lost album. I learned it, sort of just quickly interpreted it, and then we started jamming it out.

Fire (Album version)

From release Paradise Lost (1991).

Fire (demo)

From released Servant of Chaos (2001).

This is a different, but way better version of our remake of Arthur Browns great song, than the version which appeared on ‘Paradise Lost’. We had two managers who ripped us off and never paid for this recording. It was donated by Jeff at Goldmine Studios. If we have not have had a producer on our fourth album, they all would have sounded this good!

Robert Garven, liner notes

Fire (live)

Live at the Ventura Theater California, 13 Dec 1991
